“Cassidy has an emerging profile in women’s football in both Newcastle and Australia, but also possesses a down to earth, locally-focused attitude,” McKinna said.

“Prior to her appointment Cassidy had always shown her willingness to get involved with Club promotions and school holiday clinics, which spoke volumes about her character and preparedness to act as an ambassador for the Club in the community,” he said.

Davis said she’s keen to contribute to the Club both on and off the pitch.

“I’m very excited to be a part of a community-focused Club on a professional basis, as well as being a player,” Davis said.

“It’s a great opportunity for me to take the Club’s Hyundai A-League and Westfield W-League players out into the community.”

“I look forward to helping Newcastle Jets in any way I can to achieve its goals and move forward in a positive direction,” she said.
